House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is floundering. He lacks the money and political power Nancy Pelosi used to whip Democrats into line, but in truth, they didn\u2019t need all that much whipping. They were united by their Trump Derangement Syndrome\u2014TDS\u2014induced psychosis. It was pretty simple: whatever Trump was for, they were, spittle- slinging, red-faced against. Whatever was good for America, they were against.<\/p>

That\u2019s still the case these days, but it has become a bit more complicated due to the\u00a0imminent threat of Communists masking as \u201cDemocratic Socialists\u201d taking over the Democrat Party. \u201cModerate Democrats,\u201d being all but extinct, fit for museum-level taxidermy, Democrats agree with virtually everything in the Democratic Socialists of America\u2014DSA\u2014Platform, but in some purplish states, and even a few blue states, have to backpedal a bit. Most will identify only one or two ultra-lunatic DSA stances and claim not to agree with them. A few brave souls will profess not to agree with the DSA at all, or say\u2014gasp!\u2014\u201cI\u2019m not a socialist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pack the Supreme Court?\u00a0\u00a0Absolutely. \u201cMedicare for all?\u201d Of course. Tax the hell out of everybody? Certainly. Abolish the Senate? Probably not most Senators, but probably the rest. Impeach and prosecute every Republican? Can\u2019t wait. Ensure eternal Democrat rule? Hand out the AK-47s. But the other day, that brave, new collective, \u201creal communism hasn\u2019t been tried yet\u201d future cracked: \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Hakeem Jeffries\u00a0had a plan. The House Democratic leader assumed his caucus would vote unanimously Tuesday against a Republican effort to bring several bills to the House floor, thereby plunging the GOP conference into chaos. Then Democrats could sit back and enjoy as Speaker Mike Johnson played defense ahead of Labor Day.<\/p>\n

But the joke was on Mr. Jeffries. Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez unexpectedly voted with Republicans to pass the \u201crule\u201d and consider proposed legislation. Mr. Jeffries was furious. Asked if he\u2019d known how Mr. Golden and Ms. Gluesenkamp Perez would vote, Mr. Jeffries\u00a0snapped, \u201cYou\u2019ll have to ask Katherine.\u201d He was referring to House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, who was as clueless as her boss.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The real problem was the vote called for passing the SAVE America Act\u2014Voter ID and other election integrity measures\u2014which Democrats absolutely don\u2019t want, particularly in time for the midterms and the 2028 election. It also involved a resolution condemning socialism. Democrats, as previously noted, are, in varying degrees, trying to back away from Socialism\/Communism while supporting much, if not all, of the DSA platform. And they proved it with only eight Democrats voting for the measure while the rest opposed it:<\/p>\n

That vote handed Republicans a ready-made campaign commercial for the midterms and beyond, depending on how well Communist\/Islamist\/Marxists like Abdul E-Sayed and James Talarico do in the midterms.\u00a0<\/p>

The real loser was Mr. Jeffries. He was exposed once again as a weak leader in hock to his party\u2019s progressive, anti-Trump base. Since taking the reins of the House Democrats from Nancy Pelosi in 2023, Mr. Jeffries has done little more than act as a thorn in the side of the Republican majority. Otherwise, he\u2019s been a bystander, watching complacently as the Democrats swerved to the left. And now, as expectations build for a Democratic majority, Mr. Jeffries is under increasing pressure to lend his caucus purpose and direction. That hasn\u2019t happened. Instead, his tenure has been a case study in embarrassment and indecision.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jeffries really got in trouble by talking to Republicans, specifically Jared Kushner. Imagine that: A Democrat leader talking with a member of the opposition President\u2019s inner circle in an attempt to benefit America. Party treason! Jeffries was forced to essentially repudiate himself in the rage-infused style he and Democrats have adopted:<\/p>\n

\n

The backlash led Mr. Jeffries to issue\u00a0a bizarre, direct-to-the-camera message on X. Wearing all green and standing in front of a nondescript apartment building, he defended his actions in a halting speech filled with awkward pauses. Mr. Kushner asked for a meeting, and he took it, Mr. Jeffries said. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have to say it, but I am,\u201d he went on. \u201cNo one is going to get a pass. We\u2019re going to hold every single member of the Trump cartel accountable.\u201d So much for negotiation and compromise. Investigations and partisan warfare lay ahead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m not commenting on the hat\u2014too easy\u2014but more posing with baseball bats in a failed attempt to look tough lies ahead. There is also every reason to believe Democrats are serious about Soviet-style show trials of their political enemies\u2014about half of America\u2014are already being planned if they seize the House and Senate, and God help America if they also take the White House in 2028. Democrats have already proved they\u2019re perfectly happy with Muppet figureheads. After all, it\u2019s the behind-the-scenes operatives that make it all work.<\/p>\n
